Our Mandate: This journal represented an attempt to explore issues, ideas, and problems that lie at the intersection between the academic disciplines of social science and the body of thought and political practice that has constituted Marxism over the last 150 years. New Proposals is a journal of Marxism and interdisciplinary Inquiry that is dedicated to the radical transformation of the contemporary world order. We saw our role as providing a platform for research, commentary, and debate of the highest scholarly quality that contributed to the struggle to create a more just and humane world, in which the systematic and continuous exploitation, oppression, and fratricidal struggles that characterize the contemporary sociopolitical order might no longer exist.ISSN 1715-6718 Open Access New Proposals is a fully open access journal.
